perf srcline: Make sentinel reading for binutils addr2line more robust
The addr2line process is sent an address then multiple function, filename:line "records" are read. To detect the end of output a ',' is sent and for llvm-addr2line a ',' is then read back showing the end of addrline's output. For binutils addr2line the ',' translates to address 0 and we expect the bogus filename marker "??:0" (see filename_split) to be sent from addr2line. For some kernels address 0 may have a mapping and so a seemingly valid inline output is given and breaking the sentinel discovery: ``` $ addr2line -e vmlinux -f -i , __per_cpu_start ./arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:1850 ``` To avoid this problem enable the address dumping for addr2line (the -a option). If an address of 0x0000000000000000 is read then this is the sentinel value working around the problem above. The filename_split still needs to check for "??:0" as bogus non-zero addresses also need handling.
